NH Food Bank gains from SCU donation

PORTSMOUTH --- With New Hampshire Food Bank preparing to feed thousands for the holiday season, Service Credit Union has once again stepped up with a significant contribution.

Barbara Roberge, Service Credit Union Board of Directors Chair, presented a check for $15,000 to N.H. Food Bank Executive Director Melanie Gosselin on Tuesday, November 20th to help keep the shelves well stocked.

Service Credit Union has made a considerable donation to the food bank for seven straight years to assist the agency during its critical times of need. The contribution could not have come at better time as New Hampshire Food Bank officials describe this year’s demand for food as one of most severe in years.

In addition to the monetary donation, Service Credit Union delivered non-perishable items weighing close to 1,500 pounds which were collected during the credit union’s Food for Families canned food drive, to the food bank. New Hampshire branches from across the state participated in the campaign.

“We thank Service Credit Union for being a tremendous supporter of the New Hampshire Food Bank for many years,” Gosselin said. “This donation in particular comes at a time when the people of the state really need it. This has been a remarkable partnership throughout the years.”

“Service Credit Union is honored to help The New Hampshire Food Bank fulfill its mission of helping the less fortunate in our communities. The Food Bank supplies local food pantries with their food to become beneficiaries of donations like the one from Service Credit Union,” said Roberge. “This donation embodies the credit union philosophy of people helping people.”

Service Credit Union is a full service financial institution, offering a wide range of financial products to its members. With 40 branch locations including two staffed 24/7 contact centers, and full internet banking services, Service Credit Union serves anyone who lives or works in New Hampshire (excluding Coos County), 4 towns in Cape Cod, MA., and all branches of the U.S. Military and Department of Defense employees and their families. With over $2.2 billion in assets, Service Credit Union has 22 branches in New Hampshire, one in Massachusetts, and 17 branches on U.S. military bases in Germany.
